In emergencies, seconds matter—and the condition of your Automated External Defibrillator (AED) or First Aid Kit could mean the difference between life and death. At canaPHEM, we help organizations across Ontario stay prepared with professional AED and First Aid Kit inspections that ensure compliance, safety, and peace of mind.
Why Are AED and First Aid Kit Inspections Important?
Whether you’re managing a workplace, school, public venue, or healthcare facility, maintaining your emergency equipment is not just good practice—it’s a legal requirement in many cases. Over time, supplies expire, batteries lose charge, and equipment may be misplaced or damaged. Regular inspections help ensure your kits are:
- Fully stocked with all required items
- Free of expired or damaged components
- Organized and ready for immediate use
- Compliant with local safety regulations
Common Issues Found During AED & First Aid Inspections
Without regular checks, your life-saving tools might not function when you need them most. During inspections, we commonly find:
- Expired bandages, medications, or ointments
- AED pads that have passed their expiry date
- AED batteries with low or no charge
- Missing items like gloves, scissors, or CPR masks
- Disorganized or unsealed kits
What Does a Professional Inspection Involve?
At canaPHEM, our inspection service includes a detailed review and documentation of your safety equipment:
- Check AED status indicators and battery life

- Review First Aid Kit contents for compliance and completeness
- Restock missing or used supplies

- Provide recommendations to enhance readiness
Our team of certified professionals follows CSA and WSIB standards to ensure your organization meets all health and safety requirements.
How Often Should You Conduct Inspections?
We recommend inspecting your First Aid Kits monthly and AEDs at least every 3 months, depending on your facility type and use frequency. For high-traffic or high-risk environments, more frequent checks may be necessary.
